Riding Down Hills - Honda TRX420FPM Owner's Manual

Riding Your ATV

Riding Down Hills

It's usually advisable to descend hills with the ATV pointed straight
downhill. Avoid angles that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side.
Going down a hill improperly could cause loss
of control or cause the ATV to overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for going down
hills as described in this owner's manual.
As you approach a downhill, stop and survey the terrain below. Never
ride past the limit of your visibility. Never go down a hill at high speed.
